Silica Fiber Custom Ball Lens Profiles

Laser Components can now provide custom ball lens profiles on the end faces of silica fibers.

The plasma-based CMS process with ring-of-fire technology supports fiber diameters of 200, 365, 400, 550, and 600 µm, including other diameters within the limits of the equipment. For fibers used in medical applications, end-face processing can be carried out in a clean room in accordance with ISO-13485. The entire process is also compliant to ISO-13485 hygiene requirements.

These fibers with spherical lenses are often used in medical technology applications to optimize radiation characteristics in endoscopes and other uses. The rounded surface of the ball lens reduces the risk of injury during the operation while at the same time controlling the beam characteristics of the laser. The same type of fiber tips are also used in other applications for coupling light sources with the fiber.
